Now I have to get out in my garden this weekend. The dramatic shifts in weather the last few months has killed everything. I miss color! (besides brown, I mean).

Love the shots on this page, especially yours, Paul and Craig!  Great shots everyone!

Here's mine...not quite the same, but I figure it counts...right?


Clicking the picture takes you to its Flickr page, where you can download/view a larger copy, access my camera settings/EXIF data, read the caption for this shot, or navigate to my other shots!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Chrysler Imperial:



There's a neat story behind this shot.  My Dad loved gardening as a child, so my Great-Grandmother gave him some rose bushes while he was in high school (mid 60's).  He planted them at his parent's house and continued to care for them for many years.  When he got married, the rose bushes were too big to dig up and move without risking severe damage to the plant, so he left them at his parent's house and continued to faithfully tend to them there.  Three years ago when my Grandmother decided it was time to sell the house and move into a condo, he only had one rose bush left there; it was his favorite, Chrysler Imperial.  The others were not as hardy and had been killed off by hard winters over the years.  At that time he decided to try to start new bushes from cuttings since Chrysler is one of the few modern hybrid tea roses that is hardy enough to grow on its own root stock[1] so he took 5 cuttings, put them under his plant lights and babied them through the winter.  Only two survived and they bloomed for the first time last year, so of course I had to take pictures of them.
 1. most roses that you see today are grafted onto root stock from a much stronger rose

Michael that is SO beautiful and I love the story.  Was it taken with a macro lens?

Thanks Roni!

Was it taken with a macro lens?

Yep.  Nikon Micro Nikkor 105mm F2.8, manual focus.  The shot was taken after sunset at 100 ISO, f7.6, 1/60s, with flash camera right[1]
 1. note the little white highlight on the water droplets
